The 2021 Memorial Day Parade will step off from the back of Northern Valley OT High School promptly at 9:30 am. The parade ends in Oakes Park on Central Avenue and concludes with a Memorial Ceremony.  The Ceremony includes parading the colors, the National Anthem, the Invocation, address by the Mayor, placing wreaths at the Memorial, the rifle salute and taps. In the event of inclement weather, the Fire Department siren will be sounded at 8:15 a.m. advising that the Parade and ceremony has been canceled.  We ask you to remind members of your organization, children and adults alike, that Memorial Day is a solemn occasion, dedicated to the memory of our countrymen who have given their lives so that we may enjoy our freedom. Let us treat their memory with dignity and respect, along the Parade route as well as during Memorial Services.

THE BLACK POSTER PROJECT: RAISING AWARENESS THROUGH LIVES LOST TO ADDICTION

THE BLACK POSTER PROJECT is a labor of love created by Dee Gillen after the loss of her son, Scott, to a heroin/fentanyl overdose at age 27 in 2015. It began with a simple social media post just prior to Overdose Awareness Day 2019. Those who wanted their loved one featured in the Project simply sent their information — an image and the dates.In a few short months, this silent memorial grew to include over 200 Awareness Posters, which sadly, continues to grow to this day.THE BLACK POSTER PROJECT travels to various local area events — sometimes including all of the posters — other times, a small sample.Attendees are invited to look at their faces, look into their eyes, read a message — as each will ‘speak back’. Perhaps these faces are familiar? Undoubtedly people ask themselves, “How this could have happened to this baseball player, this musician, this father, this mother?” Rest assured, the bereaved families ask themselves the same questions.Learn more about the Black Poster Project here.

There is no cost to have your loved one included in THE BLACK POSTER PROJECT, please download and submit the Consent Form or call Dee Gillen at 201.906.9055.
